Option to disable screen blanking

[TheCycoONE]

In X the joystick input doesn't get intercepted so the screen blanks during play.

It would be nice if the xset workaround was built into this launcher.

I don't want to include platform-dependant code into AEL. Kodi has its own screensaver, so I think the best solution is to execute xset -dpms s off in the script that initialises Kodi.

Another solution is to use a wrapper shell script, like the guy who answer's the question suggests.

I suggest you try joystickwake, a program written specifically to solve this kind of issue.
